Are you a good fellow? Tin 1 best way to prove sou we Is to send a contribution to Miss Leona Bosse, chairman of the Good Fellow Club who will see that it Is spent to make some one happy on Christmas day. Good Fellows help those who need lit. They bring brightest cheer to the community on Christmas day. They make the youngsters laughs ;ipt>re over the house where otherwise would he gloom and sadness, .loin them and you will be merrier yourself. Some one ought to write Congressi tan Vestal and tell him that Decatur would like to have a postoffice building on the lot purchased by the gov < rnment several years ago. Since John Adair left congress the matter cents to have been overlooked. The overnment is going to spend many illlions for new buildings. Why not nlsh the job here? Democrats in the state legislature . will oppose the efforts of Governor I McCray to secure an appropriation f from one to two million dollars to oinpletc the Pendleton prison, on the theory that it's too much money to pend on one institution when others '•■ed attention also. Just why should we build the finest prison in Ameri.a? Wouldn't it be better to have the finest university or hospital or omething else?

L . ■ The progressive element of the republican party is demanding an amendment to the constitution providing for direct election of president and the immediate seating of a newly elected congress. President Harding is opposed to the suggestion and no doubt thinks that there has been ■cine special reason for the bloc assuming this attitude. Just suppose that Bluffton had played Hicksville at Bluffton on Thanksgiving Day and that Tommy Moore had acted as umpire and had either because of incompetency or plain meanness given four or five bad decisions, do you think the Bluffton people would have congratulated him or banqueted him or apologized if seme one happened to make a face at < him? Not by a long shot. Bluffton and Decatur schools have, severed sport relations, cancelling all contests during the present school year. It is perhaps just as well for it seems impossible for the schools to meet without the rivalry reaching a point where there is danger of serious breaks. Evidently Bluffton is looking for some babish way to put Decatur in bad add would continue to grab any incident and make it a ser- ' ious affair. It’s going to be hard to get along without the excitement aljl ways aroused when Bluffton teams I meet Decatur but we will just have I to stand it. *

Readers of the Daily Democrat are [invited' to use the "Public Opinion" i column. What do you think your I representative and senator in the state assembly ought to do on the 11 tax question, the primary law, the ,i| proposed one or two cent tax on gasI oline, the income tax. the limit on II non taxable securities and other I problems?

Mr. Babson gives four reasons why business will be distinctly better throughout the next year, and four why improvement, though steady, will be slow'. The first four are as follows: There is im1 provement in fundamental, social, [ economic and spiritual conditions: I the farmers have more to spend than they had alter the last \ harvest, money is easier, and the mercantile situation. sounder. The second four are a shortage of labor, labor’s attb ' tude toward its work, the excess of ' manufacturing capacity over the ' amount of production required and

It should enable < very individual to settle down, to unhurried study of his own relation tb the problem to be solved. It should discount the tendency t<>"hyst«rla and wasteful methods of production which result when good times come too fast. / \ “Up In The Clouds’’ At The Majestic i A real treat is in store for our the-, liter patrons when “Up in the Clouds," the latest musical comedy to be produced under the personal direction of, Joseph M. Gaites Is seen at the Majestic theater two days, starting Saturday, December 9, with matinee Sunday, coming direct from the Fortyfourth Street theater, New York, where it scored the most emphatic hit of all musical comedies and so pronounced was its success that it ran right through-the entire season. The theater was peeked at every performance. It is said that “Up in the Clouds" will surpass any of Mr. Gaites’ former efforts, which is indeed a recommendation, when one remembers that he , has given the public such successes; as “Three Twins,” “The Girl of My Dreams,” “The Enchantress,” “Take It From Me” and others. There are many surprising and j novel effects in “Up in the Clouds”] which will no doubt hold the audi-1 ence spellbound, particularly the I “cloud” scene in the first act, which is so true to ntfture that it is acclaimed as one of the most scenic] triumphs of the year. The chorus was chosen from hundreds of the hahdsomest and most stately models of the metropolis and practically every modiste shop in New | York has been searched for color and fabrics to add to the lovely show j girls. Christmas is but two weeks away] next Monday and the shopping is large . iy to be done. It's time to get busy.

Nothing was said ibout the dance. She was lined 16,000 marks by the lower court in Berlin but appealed, for the sake of art and advertising. She testified in court that she did not know anybody objected to her tlrapeless dances or that it smacked of lewdness in view of the , fact site had been dancing it to capacity houses for many months.
